 Nancy Barry, a 25-year corporate veteran, walked away from what she describes as "the best job in the world" to share her extensive business experience with others. One of her passions is helping young adults be successful in their careers. She is the author of When Reality Hits: What Employers Want Recent College Graduates to Know. Nancy has had the opportunity to speak to college students across the country and helps her corporate clients get their young professionals off to a great start. Nancy's other passion is helping business leaders understand Gen Y - who they are, what they want, why they are different from other generations and how to manage them. She also helps business leaders create an environment of mutual respect and collaboration when there are multiple generations working together. Prior to launching her own company in 2005, Nancy served as vice president of community services for The Dallas Morning News and WFAA-TV and vice president for The Dallas Morning News Charities, an annual campaign to raise money for the hungry and homeless. Nancy is a member of the National Association of Colleges and Employers, National Speakers Association and National Association of Female Executives. She is active in her community serving on the advisory councils of the Communities Foundation of Texas, Dallas Women's Foundation and Dallas Center for the Performing Arts.
Seating is limited! Deadline to register online at www.afpdallas.org is Wednesday, December 2nd. After that date, make reservations by fax or mail on a space-available basis.

PRESIDENT'S LETTER
November means elections, Veterans Day, Philanthropy Day, Turkey Day - changing clocks, heavier socks. End-of-year campaigns, galas, luncheons, dinners, runs, walks, rides, holidaze! With all this ahead, here are some of my favorite Winston Churchill quotes - for no particular reason at all except to give you a chuckle:
1. A joke is a very serious thing.
2. Perhaps it wasn't a lie, rather, terminological inexactitude.
3. Ending a sentence with a preposition is something up with which I will not put.
4. I am an optimist. It does not seem too much use being anything else.
5. If you are going through hell, keep going.
6. Dogs look up to men, cats look down on them, but pigs treat us as equals.
7. He is a modest man, but then, he has much to be modest about.
8. Now this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning.
9. The power of man has grown in every sphere, except over himself.
10. Mrs Astor: "Sir, were you my husband, I would poison your tea." Churchill: "Madam, were I your husband, I would drink it."
and:
Churchill despised nationalization and made it clear one day when he met Attlee in the House of Common's men's room. Attlee arrived first. When Churchill arrived, he stood as far away from him as possible. Attlee said, "Feeling standoffish today, are we, Winston?" Churchill said: "That's right. Every time you see something big, you want to nationalize it."
I hope to see you at NPD on the 10th!
With all best wishes,
Luanne Samuel, CFRE
Greater Dallas AFP President
